Kumquat
A small citrus eaten whole, sweet skin and tangy flesh.
Kumquat is a small oval citrus fruit of bright orange colour. It is eaten whole, with the skin: the skin is sweet and fragrant, while the flesh is tangy. This contrast makes it a very interesting fruit in the kitchen, candied, poached, in chutney, or raw in thin slices in a salad.
